Dougie Pincock
Dougie Pincock started his musical career as a Highland piper at primary school in Barrhead, near Glasgow, in 1970. In 1978 he joined the Glasgow folk group Kentigern, and began to learn whistle and flute on the Glasgow session scene.
He joined Battlefield Band in 1983 and played Highland and small pipes, whistle, flute, saxophone and percussion on three studio albums and one live one, and tours throughout Europe, North America and Australasia.
He left the band in 1990, and spent the 1990s teaching in various settings including many Fèisean, the newly opened Piping Centre, and the first degree course in Scottish music at the (then) R.S.A.M.D.
In 2000, he was appointed as the first Director of the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music at Plockton High School. He retired from that post in July 2023 and is now combining freelance performing, teaching and recording with being a Papa.
